Passengers leaving LAX, July 2026
3.30 million passengers boarded flights out of LAX in July 2026, down 6.5% from a year earlier. 955,969 of them were on international flights, down 14.8%. Over the last twelve months departures averaged 3.00 million a month, against 3.62 million at the record, in the year to June 2019.
These are departures only, from the airlines’ own monthly reports to the federal government. The Los Angeles World Airports’ headline passenger count adds arrivals, so it runs about twice these figures. A traveller connecting through LAX counts on the flight they leave on. Summer is the peak and winter the low every year, so compare a month with the same month a year earlier. The figures arrive about three months after the month they count.
